SummaryMy overall research interest is in the technical development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). General goals of research in our laboratory are to attempt to address fundamental limitations of MRI as well to consider new applications of MRI. Recent work has involved the development of a variety of techniques for obtaining MR images in relatively short acquisition times. This includes continuous real-time imaging with sub-second acquisition times per image, imaging over a single period of suspended respiration in order to avoid respiratory artifact, and imaging over multiple periods of respiration. Ongoing projects in these areas include imaging of abdominal organs and vasculature, and of the heart, great vessels, and coronary arteries.
In addition to the development of fast MRI pulse sequences, research in this laboratory also focuses on high speed signal processing techniques. This includes instant or "real-time" image reconstruction, interactive control of scanning parameters, and use of low resolution MR images or data to guide the acquisition of data for high quality images.
Much of the work in this laboratory is directed toward cardiovascular, neurological, and cancer imaging. This includes the development of MR data acquisition techniques or "pulse sequences" increased sensitivity to pathology and potentially the ability to generate whole body images.
